Population in Africa – S3 Geography Notes

These Senior 3 Geography notes cover population in Africa. They start by defining key terms such as birth rate, death rate, fertility rate, growth rate and population density. The notes then explain the physical and human factors behind uneven population distribution across the continent. Egypt and Nigeria are used as case studies, covering why population is concentrated in some areas, what drives high growth and what problems follow. Later sections deal with the causes of rapid population growth, types of migration and the reasons people move, the advantages and disadvantages of high growth, and overpopulation. The document includes sketch maps and is suitable for classroom study and revision.
